Description: Implementation of a scalable, highly configurable, and
        e(x)tended architecture for (e)volutionary and (g)enetic
        (a)lgorithms. Multiple representations (binary, real-coded,
        permutation, and derivation-tree), a rich collection of genetic
        operators, as well as an extended processing pipeline are
        provided for genetic algorithms (Goldberg, D. E. (1989,
        ISBN:0-201-15767-5)), differential evolution (Price, Kenneth
        V., Storn, Rainer M. and Lampinen, Jouni A. (2005)
        <doi:10.1007/3-540-31306-0>), simulated annealing (Aarts, E.,
        and Korst, J. (1989, ISBN:0-471-92146-7)), grammar-based
        genetic programming (Geyer-Schulz (1997,
        ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X)), grammatical evolution (Ryan, C.,
        O'Neill, M., and Collins, J. J. (2018)
        <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-78717-6>), and grammatical differential
        evolution (O'Neill, M. and Brabazon, A. (2006) in Arabinia, H.
        (2006, ISBN:978-193-241596-3). All algorithms reuse basic
        adaptive mechanisms for performance optimization. For the
        architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025)
        <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>. Sequential or parallel execution
        with master-slave pattern (on multi-core machines, local
        clusters, and high-performance computing environments) is
        available for all algorithms. See
        <https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/executionModel>.
        Homogeneous and heterogeneous island models with asynchronous
        and synchronous communication and configurable communication
        topology as well as migration strategy are supported. See
        <https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/IslandModels>.
